There’s A Child

167. The Child and the Star

—

there’s a child who is hungry

there’s a child who is cold

there’s a child who is scared in the place where he lives,

but once long ago in a manger time

a child was born under a star

—

there are children so sick that they may even die

there are children so poor that they ache

but the child of the star came to lead a new way

and the child of the star gives hope

—

there’s a child who is twelve and she cannot read

there’s a child who just cries in the midst of the war

but the child of the star led a life that was just

and says to us now

—

find a way for each child

find some peace for each child

find love for each child
